A Mid week smasher!

Shaft of Steel + Absent Heart +Making Plans for Nigel + Carina Stainforth

https://buytickets.at/thefiddlerselbow/2188672

Shaft of Steel are a UK metal band who blend melodic rock, ’80s synths and heavy riffs to create a unique but infectious sound.

Their debut EP was released independently in 2014 and it led to a string of festivals and support slots with major artists in the AOR genre. Their first full-length album was released by German label AOR Heaven in 2020 to wide acclaim in heavy rock magazines worldwide.

They have since released a popular cover of Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn”, a state-of-the-art music video for their 2023 single “Back to Me” and the synth-laden anthem “A Thousand Nights”.

2026 sees them return to the live music circuit, with a string of gigs and new material planned for release.

Absent Heart

Absent Heart are three hims and a her, forged in the sonic shadows of North London’s rock’n’roll underbelly. Raised on feedback, late nights in dive bars, and all bound by a shared hunger for the raw and the real — this is a band that bleeds heart, howl, and honesty.

At the helm is Kat — lead vocals and lyrical firebrand, bringing both bite and beauty. On guitar and backing vocals, Trystan stirs melody with menace and grace, while Stephen anchors the storm on bass, weaving in harmonies that haunt. Completing the circle is Mica, wielding percussive frenetic drums, percussion, BVs and — when the spirit moves — the occasional cowbell!

Musically, Absent Heart wears no single badge. Their influences sprawl across decades and genres — the dark romance of post-punk, the defiance of alt-rock, the sweat and spit of garage. Their original songs dive deep into love, rage, and the strange space in-between — tackling themes from anti-capitalism to zombies, with a detour into waterboarding. If you think you’ve heard it all, think again.

There’s no autopilot here. Every show is a surge — visceral, unpredictable, alive. Catch  Absent Heart live at The Fiddler’s Elbow (May 13) a date you’ll regret missing.

With full access to their own recording studio, Absent Heart are currently crafting their debut album: a 9-track journey featuring the foot-stomping "Midnight" and the cinematic, slow-burn Bond style "Silence" Tell Me Your Name just dropped as their demo single with eight other tracks to drop in 2026, so in the meantime expect to see, feel and hear something special soon.

The Ritualists  

“AND I'M HEARING YOU SAY, NOT ENOUGH IS OK. WELL, IT'S NOT..."

Rising from the NYC underground scene of the Lower East Side, The Ritualists first attained international critical acclaim for their debut album, Painted People, released just prior to the pandemic on Out of Line Music. The record, and particularly, its lead single “Ice Flower,” was hailed as a seamless blend of dark beauty & anthemic pop sensibilities. 

The follow-up effort, Baroque & Bleeding, produced by Brit-Pop icon, Ed Buller(Psychedelic Furs, White Lies, Pulp, Suede), has been described as “pure new romantic psychedelia,” by Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon, and continued the trend of critical adoration, along with regular airplay on SiriusXM. This momentum lead to multiple US tours and multiple collaborations, performing with members of Blondie, Love and Rockets, D Generation and The New York Dolls.

The Ritualists now seek to build on their brand of “Gothic Art Rock” (Hollywood Life) with their latest, full-length effort, Too Pure to Cure (Suite484Music) produced by GRAMMY-winner, Mario McNulty (David Bowie, Prince, Willow). The band, which has oftentimes been identified as proudly embracing the more ornate elements of rock-and-roll, further tested such boundaries, as this newest release was honored on multiple "Best of 2025" lists & has been described as "Moody, melodic & undeniably magnetic" by Savoir Faire & "a heartfelt and adventurous offering from a band that seems poised to usher in a new era of new romantic art rock" by Regen Magazine

Ft. Hungry Dog Brand, Spinmaster Plantpot, & inigo

After a 15-year gap spent writing books, singer-songwriter Martin Dowsing aka Hungry Dog returns with a new line-up, featuring Alan Boyd (Little Sparta/Movieland) on bass, Matthew Karas (Glassglue) on keys, and Ean Ravenscroft (Dexter Bentley/Joss Cope/Gerry Mitchell All-stars) on drums. “The UK’s Martin Dowsing is a kindred spirit to the estimable lineage of confessional, punk poets before him… If you like honest types bearing their English souls, this is the shit.” - Michael Pearlstein, Big Takeover magazine

Spinmaster Plantpot is a dead punk. Equal amounts bicarbonate of soda to scattergun no-show a cappella. He'll rock your world and take you to a place West of Norwood Junction.

inigo brings to the stage dreampop-inspired music about memories and nostalgia, about childhood and memories, about taking them with us and holding them tight, about when to let go and when to keep them safe. Come and be a part of it.

The Mighty Heartache

Rock Americana with the swagger and heart of the 70s, the spirit of the 60’s, and a dollop of country and rockabilly. Words to make you think, maybe an occasional tear, and a beat to get your feet a dancin’.

Think Elvis C meets Elvis P with the energy of the Clash, the raunch of The Stones, all filtered through Nashville and dropped into the heart of the Finchley Delta.

The set will include a mix of old favourites, some tracks from their recently released EP Love's Ancient Song (Sept 2025), as well as songs never previously performed by the band.

The Snakeoil Rattlers

The Snakeoil Rattlers have continued to cement their place in the UK Southern Rock and Americana scene. The strong narrative of their songs often finds them compared to songwriting notaries including the Drive-by Truckers, Townes Van Zandt, and Steve Earle, but with a sound distinctly their own.

The Outlaw Punk Country Radio Show described them as having "Smooth rural southern lyrics and native hymning" and The Imperial Palace of Big Red call them "The most authentic sounding Southern Rock band in London”.

"Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! I was blown away by it ('Fire in the Hole'). Worthy of a John Peel moment. I'm playing it again. A grass roots band really going somewhere" — Stephen Lowin, Storm FM

"Marvellous Stuff from the Marvellous album 'Backwater'" — Mark Worden, Wordy's World, Hard Rock Hell Radio

"If you like Southern country rock, authentic sounding whiskey driven rock you want to get to know them, definitely." — Natasha Strange, Strange Country Show, Radio 365

"One of the best records of 2022" — Dan Raza, Spirit and Roots

The song “Please Don’t Piss In My Microwave” was voted Best Punk Song of 2011 on Gary Bushell’s Rancid Sounds show on Total Rock FM.
